English term or phrase: Engineered from the road up
I'm trying to find the right meaning for this expression. This is for a motorcycle ad.

Thank you in advance!

engineered from the road up
conçue par et pour la route


Explanation:
"engineered" c'est conçue, dans le double sens de conception technique et de naissance suggéré par "from the ground up"

"par la route" c'est "from the road" et "pour" parce que c'est quand même une moto et qu'elle a va y retourner
